McKenzie just threw another wrinkle into things.
Jets MAY be targeting Puljujarvi and not Laine, like everyone seems to think.

I'm reasonably confident TOR will take Auston Matthews at No. 1. I'm not nearly as confident WPG will automatically take Patrik Laine at 2.

I am not saying WPG won't take Laine but I am saying, IMO, Jesse Puljujarvi may be a legit consideration at No. 2 for the Jets.

Jets, as is their style, haven't tipped hand but several teams told me to not rule out notion of Puljujarvi going 2nd overall to WPG.

Personally, I still think they're taking Laine but it's another good reason for CBJ to hold onto #3 until right before they have to pick.
